WADE IN THE WATER / HARRIET TUBMAN
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God’s gonna trouble the water
One night I dreamed I was in slavery, ’bout 1850 was the time Sorrow was the only sign, nothing around to ease my mind Out of the night there came a lady leading a distant pilgrim band ”First mate!” she said, pointing her hand ”Make room aboard for this young woman”
CHORUS:
And she sang -
Come on up, mm-mm, I got a lifeline,
Come on up to this train of mine
Come on up, mm-mm, I got a lifeline,
Come on up to this train of mine
She said her name was Harriet Tubman
And she drove for the Underground Railroad
